Lord God, we continue to pray for search-and rescue teams in
Miami, Florida, as they work around the clock to find survivors from Thursday’s
12-story building collapse. We cannot imagine the pain felt by those awaiting
news of their missing loved ones. Comfort them in supernatural ways as they
process this tragic event and helplessly await news of any survivors. Lord, we
are encouraged that Mexico and Israel sent teams to help with the effort,
relieving local teams. We are encouraged by local officials and others who have
provided aid, such as housing and food, for survivors who have been left
homeless and for rescue workers. Please bless generosity of resources and generosity
of spirit during this time. We do pray for those who search, including the
dogs, as they go about their dangerous work. Please protect and guide them. We
pray for equipment to work well and to be used well. We pray for any survivors
who are hanging onto life amid the rubble to hold onto hope and to persevere.
May they continue breathing and doing what they can to attract attention. Direct
rescuers to their locations. Lord, there are so many concerns in this situation,
including that truth come out about this collapse. Please actively work amid
this tragedy in ways that reveal your power and mercy. In Jesus’ name we pray,
amen.
